What's the deal with those pink flamingos?

Just saw this article The Tacky History of the Pink Flamingo | Arts & Culture | Smithsonian Magazine . Having been sent a pair of Featherstone originals by my wife's sister when we got our Airstream ("What's with this kind of 'trailer-warming' present?" I asked), and then "gifted" with a second pair by Janet ("There's never enough!") at the Wenatchee rally, I thought this article had to be passed on!

We have pink flamingo sheets, pink flamingo pillow cases (different from what comes with the sheets), and a pink flamingo wire statue for outside our trailer. AND on our first outing with the trailer last weekend, we stopped at an antique store, and there we found a pink flamingo ceramic statue we bought since we thought it MUST be a "sign" . I also have 3 yds of pink flamingo fabric I picked up at a quilt shop that I have no idea what I'm going to do with - I'll think of something! I'm trying to figure out how many pink flamingos are TOO many ( or is that possible?)

The flamingo cops have been by the OP's house to collect her neon pf. Clearly a violation of the "if you gotta ask" code.

When did pink flamingoes become associated with trailer parks in Florida?

The flamingo replacements for Rudolf, Donner, Blitzen, Comet, Cupid and the rest of the gang is the best flamingo gig ever. Pat
